Classic American

Devil with a BLUE DRESS

Having owned more than 80 British classic cars, including 20 MGs, Nicola Zadrozny and her husband Jon Moulds naturally fancied a change and decided the answer was an American car. They chose this 1972 Dodge Demon. “It was bought as our joint Christmas present in 2015,” explains Nicola. “We just wanted to try an American car since we’d done the British ones to death. We were originally looking for a Dodge Dart since we needed something that would fit our garage and a Dart is about the size of a Jaguar XJ6.”

“We had considered getting a 1966 Mustang,” adds Jon. “We both like them, but in reality they’re too safe a choice for us. One thing we both love to do is ignore the advice of the ‘pub experts’ about which cars are terrible and instead buy one and try it for ourselves. Hence we’ve had cars such as a Morris Marina and Triumph Stag and TR7)and they couldn’t have been more helpful, especially Pete Wiseman. We really want to thank them all, because without their assistance we wouldn’t own this Dodge.”
